Later this year a movie will be released of Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls.I’m keen to see the movie, but reluctant at the same time.Click here to see the trailer, and what I hope is conveyed in the movie version.

When my Practical Bloke wanted gift suggestions this year (i.e. “What books do you want?”), Sarah J. Maas was at the top of the list – not her exactly, that would be illegal – but her Throne of Glass trilogy. I’d wanted to read it for ages, but he also bought me the first of her new series, The Court of Thorns and Roses.
